When an important My Degree Dashboard upgrade was scheduled for February 6-7, no one anticipated that a major snowstorm would cause a campus closure during the upgrade. Despite the "snow day" on February 6, Garth Devries, Allan Hill, Shon Harper, and Kariann Hibbard were on-site to make sure the upgrade was successfully completed. Thank you all!
The most recent PeopleSoft upgrade happened on a Friday night from 6:00 p.m. – midnight, and as usual a large group of UIT employees worked diligently to take care of the entire process. Thanks to everyone who worked on this key upgrade: Jeramy Berry, Rob Birkenshaw, Clint Bowles, Arnie Carter, Mark Curtz, Mohammed Fateh, Ryan Hahn, Doug Kenner, Rob Lake, Matt Leatham, Kelsey Loizos, CJ McMillan, Jason Moeller, Rhay Natividad, Thanh Nguyen, Kim Tanner, Marc Thompson, Dan Thornley, Patrick Tobin, Camille Wintch, and Zach Zitterkopf.
